Phoenix Wright: Lawyer In Equestria

Phoenix entered the courtroom, his heart pumping, ready for his spirit to be crushed by Von Karma’s illegitimate tactics, despite this he was ready to give it his all.

Twilight was innocent and he knew that. His goal was to prove that, but Von Karma’s goal went against it.  If he lost this trial, he would have failed Mia, and Twilight. He would have failed both the human and the spirit world.

He slowly clenched his hand into a fist, and gulped.

He got in the defense position and looked at the judge. It was a chimera?

“If you must know, I caused so much chaos, that the gracious and beautiful ‘ Celestia thought maybe it was time for ‘rehabilitation’, and freed me from stone, so now I am stuck here with this lame job.”, it said, practically having read Phoenix’s mind.

“Hey Discord.” Twilight said, sounding rather unimpressed with his attitude.

“Hey Painintheneck.” Discord replied. He then slammed down his gavel.

“This court is gathered today to celebrate Von Karma getting Twilight Sparkle declared guilty.” He said.

“OBJECTION! Your Honor, the verdict hasn’t even been decided yet.” Phoenix said.

“Yes but MAYBE I FEEL like giving her a guilty verdict.”  Discord said.

Celestia, who was sitting in the jury, stood up and whispered in Discord’s ear.

“Wait... evidence... testifying... oh so that is how this works, rather lame, but alright. Ok the prosecution may call it’s first witness.”

Finally, Von Karma spoke up, in the deep, unpleasant voice he was known for.

“The prosecution calls an innocent youthful stallion to the stand. Big Macintosh was the one who found the body, the trauma of finding it left him almost speechless.” Von Karma said, trying to make Twilight seem even more evil to the crowd.

Pinkie Pie of course blurted out.

“He rarely speaks anyway!” She jumped up in Von Karma’s face, of course unlike any normal person, Von Karma didn’t flinch, instead pushing her away.

“Okay people I don’t have all day, lets just get with the cross-examination, chop chop.” Discord spoke out before slamming his gavel.

Big Macintosh decided to start up his testimony.

“I found the body at 11:00pm at night on April 20th . I ain’t one to go pointing hooves, but Twilight is the only one who could have done it. She is the only one with a clear moral.”

“That was the blandest, most BORING description, I’ve ever heard.”, Discord said before letting out a huge yawn.

”He’s got a point, from what I heard this guy rarely says anything other than ‘eyup’ and ‘nope  but in court you shouldn’t be THAT vague, DAMN YOU VON KARMA!”   Phoenix thought

“What’s the matter, Mr.Wright, I thought you were going to beat me.” Von Karma chuckled.

“I am, your Honor, I would like to cross examine the witness.”

“Go ahead, entertain us all.”, Discord said, now practically half asleep.

“May I request that if the defense does cross-examine the witness, he must agree to the terms that he cannot press them with pointless questions?”

Discord shrugged and nodded, not really caring.

“I found the body, at 11:00pm at night on April 20th . I ain’t one to go pointing hooves, but Twilight is the only one who could have done it. She is the only one with a clear moral.”

“Objection!” Phoenix yelled, apparently enough to wake Discord up, “You say she is the only one who could have done it, but in saying the date of the murder, you contradicted the defense’s alibi. The defendant wasn’t even at Sweet Apple Acres on April 20th.”

Of course, Von Karma had a way around this.

“OBJECTION! Mr.Wright, I had Equestrian Royal Police officers conduct a series of test involving the size of Sweet Apple Acres. And the final result showed it was big enough for  the possibility of it to have been days after death before the body was found”

“OBJECTION! But you forgot one crucial detail Mr. Von Karma.” These words made Von Karma shutter back in shock. Phoenix then pulled out the autopsy report.

“You thought you had hidden this detail from the court, but Pinkie Pie tricked the investigator into giving us the latest autopsy report. Which says clearly the death was 4:00pm,  on April 20th.”  Phoenix smirked, he had won, he may not have found the true murderer, but his client was in the clear, or so he thought

Von Karma merely snickered, “ OBJECTION! Remember Mr.Wright, I’m prepared for any weak attempt you try to attack at perfectly good testimonies. Here is an even later version, done after a series of experiments and test.”  Suddenly the new  autopsy teleported out of Von Karma’s hands and into Discords paw.

“Hey Celestia, you might wanna see this.” He pointed his claw at “Time of Death” .

Celestia walked up next to Discord, and slowly read the document.

Time of death: Unspecified, possibility of anytime between April 17th and April 20th.

She gasped upon site of this document.

“ DAMMIT!” , Phoenix thought as he updated the court record.

“Ok everybody, now I have come to a conclusion.” Discord said after slamming the gavel.

Von Karma smirked as he waited for his guilty judgement to pass.

“Wipe that grin off your face Von Karma.” Discord continued.

“I have decided that this case isn’t out of the woods, and have considered that there is possibility of another murderer. While I want to assume Twilight is guilty, I just don’t have the evidence thanks to SOMEONE being vague.”

“Well, when me and mah sister found that body we were shocked.” Big Mac said.

“OBJECTION! Did you say sister?” Phoenix raised an eyebrow.

“YOU LEAVE APPLEBLOOM OUT OF THIS!” Big Mac yelled.

Phoenix shook his head.

“As I was saying, we shall prolong this trial until we’ve got proper evidence, if anyone needs me II am going to go replace somepony’s house with a giant gingerbread house. If I were you I  would be tumbling over each other to reach that witness. Court dismissed.”
